Contract Bench, Incident Responder (DFIR)
MOXFIVE
United States
The Role
This contract position involves conducting digital forensic investigations and incident response engagements on a flexible, as-needed basis. Responders analyse live response data, investigate threat actor activity across Windows environments and cloud platforms, and help eradicate adversaries across clients’ full digital footprints, including SaaS applications and public cloud infrastructure.
Skills & Experience
Candidates require deep hands-on experience in Windows forensics, a strong understanding of forensic artefacts, and familiarity with cloud-native investigations across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Experience identifying account takeovers, analysing SaaS logs, and working with custom forensic tooling and scripts is highly valued.
Who It Suits
This role suits experienced incident responders seeking flexible, part-time engagement rather than a full-time commitment. It is ideal for seasoned practitioners who remain passionate about live investigations and want to stay sharp on emerging threats without the demands of traditional on-call schedules or holiday disruptions.
Typical advertised salary for Incident Response roles in United States: $125,000–$179,000 (median $149,000 — from 108 recent listings analysed by Forensic Focus).
